The curling finger is pretty typical for new players. Mine still curls a bit, but not nearly as bad as when I first started. I’m 5 years in. The one big thing that helped me, was a shorter scale guitar. Most are 25.5 inches. I’ve been playing Martin short scale guitars for a couple of years now. All mine are 24.9 inches. It doesn’t seem like much, but it makes a huge difference. Also, practice will still be your best bet. Your fingers will eventually change.
